Method and apparatus for coordinating multiple peer-to-peer networks

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising, at a first device:

• participating in a first peer-to-peer (P2P) network using a first communications protocol;
• participating in a second P2P network using a second P2P communications protocol;
• and
• modifying at least one first P2P network parameter and at least one second P2P network parameter to reduce an occurrence of conflicts between the first P2P network and the second P2P network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method, the method comprising, at a first device:

• participating in a first peer-to-peer (P2P) network using a first communications protocol;
• participating in a second P2P network using a second P2P communications protocol;
• and
• modifying at least one first P2P network parameter and at least one second P2P network parameter to reduce an occurrence of conflicts between the first P2P network and the second P2P network.
